Jennifer Lawrence says new movie 'No Hard Feelings' is 'so offensive and so wrong'


Jennifer Lawrence will do anything for a laugh.

In her raunchy R-rated comedy “No Hard Feelings” (in theaters Friday), the Oscar winner kicks through a door, gets punched in the throat and fights off beach thieves in the nude.

“It was a blast,” says Lawrence, who’s also tasked with climbing a flight of stairs on rollerblades. “If you see a shot of me rollerblading up a hill, that means I rollerbladed up that hill like, 12 times. That was the most exercise I’ve had in a long time.”

Best known for dramatic roles in “Winter’s Bone” and “The Hunger Games” franchise, Lawrence had been offered broad comedies before this, but says they were never funny enough. That changed when she read “No Hard Feelings,” in which she plays a cash-strapped Uber driver named Maddie whose car gets impounded.

"She's obviously a movie star, but she's also so grounded," filmmaker Gene Stupnitsky (2019's "Good Boys") says of Jennifer Lawrence.

At the risk of losing her late mom’s house, Maddie answers a Craigslist ad placed by a wealthy couple seeking someone to “date” their awkward 19-year-old son, Percy (Andrew Barth Feldman), before he goes to college. In exchange, they’d give her a car. The film is loosely based on a real-life Craigslist post discovered by one of the film’s producers.
